Fucking disgusted with this, and with myself mostly. I shouldn't have been naive enough to think the fight would be scored properly. Just like one of the BBC commentators said, the gold medal was China's before the fight even started.
Some valid points there, what did you mean by Zhang was knocked down twice though? Was that in an earlier fight?
Yeah, against Beterbiev Artur of Russia. He beat Egan previously and it would have been a good fight if he was in the final.
Zhang's gold is at least as big a scandal as RJJ's silver.
It does not make big news because
1. Egan is not anywhere as good as Roy Jones.
2. Ireland is not USA.
3. What else do you expect from Chinese?
This is a bigger scandal because
1. Park Si-Hun, the guy who stole the gold from RJJ was actually a very good boxer himself even though Americans try to riducule him as much as they can.
He was the 1985 world cup gold medalist to go along with many other world class achievements. The gold at least went to a world class boxer, not a nobody like Zhang whose entire credential is just being Chinese.
2. Zhang got knocked down twice and still managed to win in the second round.
3. China had like 5 tie breakers and they won all of them. just luck?
And Zhang's was not even a tie. He was awarded a point when the other guy should have been!!!!
This olympic was a farce. This was the phoniest olympics ever.
fake singer, fake minority children, faked age, fake fake fake fake...
I just want to punch out Chinese fake-smiles and fake-hospitality.

Well....the next games will be held in London,so the English guys can get the medals.
The Olympics are horrid...they should stop these phony games.Sportsmanship is out the window...it's who can cheat the best.And boxing...is unwatchable,not to mention maddning.
I just watched the fight and i felt Egan deserved it.
poor scoring. :nonono:
I guess it wasn't a big enough robbery though, I haven't seen, read or heard any news outlets mentioning it.
lol sukz for them. least we got a gold medal:boxing:
Then say the same thing to Roy Jones Jr. A Korean guy got the gold.
Even with 51 golds, it is a pretty pathetic performance by China given its population size.
I think in Seoul Olympics China got a grand total of 3 golds.
:rofl:
well in Tai Kwan doe, my boy from Honduras got played vs. China. Im just going from waht the commentators said and the press said. Im not too familar with that sport
Chinese have some very serious self-respect issue. They are the Rodney Dangerfield of countries.
In particular, it is mostly their men who don't get much respect despite the phony fighter-image thanks to Bruce Lee and cheap Hong Kong chopsocky movies.
In their own country, Chinese youths get regulary beaten up by central Asian youths like Mongols, Kazakhs, Uighurs sometime even Koreans who are not happy with the Chinese taking over their lands. There is the general consensus/prejudice in Asia that Chinese men are weak and docile.
It is noted that while Chinese women excel(to a degree) in all kinds of sports Chinese men really suck in sports requiring manly strength and stamina. I think boxing was one arena in which they tried to remedy this humiliating perception by others.
I don't think they suceeded. Even after this boxing "success", I don't think I will be scared of Chinese "thugs" in a dark alley as long as they don't carry guns or knives. :rofl:
That robbery made me sick, anyone else saw the fight between Felix Diaz, Dominican and French dude for silver? How about McWilliams Arroyo vs cuban? I've seen bad decisions before but this olympics were the worst ever.
I think when the Games comes here in 2012 maybe the brit refs should help our boxers out a bit. We may get many golds then. Youve got to copy what other countries have been doing since dawn of time, otherwise were just mugs.
or maybe there shouldnt be any refs from the host country at all? sorry maybe that makes too much sense to actually happen

u are all just too dumb to understand the scoring system, and start calling fights robberies
educate yourselves
Have you been watching these fights. Especially when a Chinese fighter is fighting. If it was normal scoring I had Egan winning. The Chinese fighter was getting points for not even landing. Basically to beat a Chinese fighter you either had to totally outclass him or win by KO.
Several times when Egan hit his opponent, the point would be given to Zhang!
Zhang was scoring points when he clearly missed.
Why did the judges do it? Were they paid off, or were they afraid of the crowd?
I think it was money!
